House Construction

With the combination of poverty, series of hurricanes and the worst earthquake in the region 200 years in 2010, many live in dilapidated houses or dwell in homes with mud floors and no proper latrines; the latter two are breeding grounds for diseases. In Caiman and its surrounding villages, approximately 40% are without adequate housing and many displaced families from the Port-au-Prince earthquake do not have homes.

United Christan International has already improved the lives of 24 families by building new homes and replaced 156 mud floors with concrete. They plan to provide as many well-constructed homes as possible for families in the communities they work in.

Project Updates:

Two more mud huts have been replaced with new brick homes in Caiman! Alpine and Sonrise Church teams worked with a crew of Haitian construction workers to complete the homes during their recent trip to Haiti.
